As home automation and smart devices gain popularity, homeowners are asking their HVAC service providers to replace outdated thermostats with units that are programmable or connected to their Wi-Fi network. If you want to reduce your energy consumption and make your home more efficient than ever before, Reinke’s Heating Air Conditioning & Electrical of Kearney, NE, recommends installing a programmable or wireless-enabled thermostat.

Programmable Thermostats

While these have been on the market for several years, they are still one of the easiest devices to install in your home when you want to increase energy efficiency. With a wide variety of models available at every price point, your HVAC service technician can remove your manual thermostat and install a programmable unit that allows you to control the temperature around the clock. These are perfect for busy homeowners because this technology lets you create multiple temperature settings that adjust automatically as you come and go.

Wi-Fi Thermostats

If you want to take your home’s energy efficiency to a new level, consider replacing your current thermostat with a device that connects to your wireless network. With this technology, you can program your heating and cooling system whether you're at home or away. By downloading the manufacturer’s app for your phone, tablet, or computer, you can turn your thermostat on and off or change the temperature in your home with just the click of a button.

At a time when limitless information is at your fingertips, Reinke’s Heating Air Conditioning & Electrical urges you to make your home's appliances part of your digital lifestyle. To learn more about the company and the HVAC services they provide, call (308) 234-3003 or visit them online.
